Who We Are

The Premier Maryland Business Organization for Black Professionals

The Greater Maryland Chapter was founded in 2020 by a small team of long-term NBMBAA® members who recognized an untapped need for Black professionals and businesses in Maryland. COVID-19 and other events in 2020 underscored the absence of resources for this community.

Through programming and structured activities, the Greater Maryland Chapter supports the educational, economic, and career advancement opportunities for Black students, entrepreneurs, and professionals throughout Maryland.
